Top breakout: Jay Cutler, Denver
Reach 3,200 yards or 24 TDs
Indicative of his keen passing and big-play arm, Cutler threw for two touchdowns in each of his first four contests. His five-game totals of 1,001 yards and nine scores projects to 3,203 yards and 29 touchdowns. However, he will need to reduce his propensity for fumbling after losing two of eight fumbles. But a full off-season, training camp and preseason as Denver's starting quarterback will help him establish a greater rapport with wideouts Javon Walker, Rod Smith and Brandon Marshall, and tight ends Tony Scheffler and Daniel Graham. Add that defenses must respect one of the league's best running games, and Cutler will take advantage of many single coverages to produce big plays downfield.
Best value as No. 2 QB: Philip Rivers, San Diego
He will make the leap into a viable weekly fantasy starter in his second full season of starting. Rivers' mental acuity will catch up to his physical skills this season and enable him to surpass last year's passing stats of 3,388 yards and 22 scores. Add the league's best running back LaDainian Tomlinson and the top tight end Antonio Gates with a strong offensive line to protect him, and Rivers will find single coverages to exploit downfield with talented wideouts like Eric Parker, Vincent Jackson and rookie Craig Davis. He will also be more comfortable in the pocket to increase his multiple touchdown games.
